statement LO 3-1
Ritchie Manufacturing Company makes a product that it sells for $150 per unit. The company incurs variable manufacturing costs of
$76 per unit. Variable selling expenses are $14 per unit, annual fixed manufacturing costs are $352.000, and fixed selling and
administrative costs are $266,000 per year.
Required
Determine the break-even point in units and dollars using each of the following approaches:
a. Use the equation method.
b. Use the contribution margin per unit approach.
c. Use the contribution margin ratio approach.
d. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for the break-even sales volume.
The following income statements illustrate different cost structures for two competing companies:
